In connection with the new investigation, the prosecution published evidence gathered through special intelligence means. They contain conversations between the businessman Vasil Bozhkov, who is hiding in Dubai, and the journalist Ognyan Stefanov, as well as between Bozhkov and the left-wing MP Alexander Paunov. The talks also discussed Bozhkov's political project and the organization and financing of recent protests in Bulgaria.
